In 1635, Türkmen Ağası and Sancak Beyi Mustafa Ağa Bin Yusuf opened a coffee house in Gaziantep with a specific purpose: its proceeds would support a Mevlevihane, a lodge for the whirling dervishes of the Mevlevi order. The name Tahmis itself describes the trade — it means the place where coffee is ground — and the business has kept to that trade for nearly four centuries from its home in the Şahinbey district, near the city's old copper bazaar. The roasting styles on offer trace the Ottoman coffee tradition in its regional variations: standard Turkish coffee, the stone-ground Dibek method, and Menengiç, the wild pistachio coffee particular to southeastern Anatolia that substitutes roasted terebinth nuts for beans. Alongside the coffee counter, Tahmis sells Gaziantep baklava in several traditional cuts — Midye (mussel-shaped), Classic, and Sarma among them — reflecting the city's parallel reputation as Turkey's baklava capital. The current operation ships nationally, with same-day dispatch for orders placed before 3 PM, extending a coffee house that started as tekke income into an online pantry business. Four centuries of continuous operation is a rare claim anywhere, and Tahmis wears it plainly: the site's own account describes a "40-year reputation extended to 400 years" through unbroken practice, not reinvention. For anyone tracing the history of Turkish coffee culture, this is one of its documented starting points.

Dagcioglu Baharat has operated in the Gaziantep and Kilis region since 2000, roughly 26 years, beginning with red pepper (isot), tomato paste and dried vegetables before expanding into the wider range of Gaziantep pantry staples it sells today: spices, Antep pistachios, pepper pastes and regional charcuterie. The company has grown from a single shop into a network of seven retail stores across Gaziantep and Kilis, with its most recent opening in Kilis, alongside a wholesale operation that ships spices and baklava to all 81 Turkish provinces. Coffee is one line within this broader pantry offering rather than the company's central product, sold alongside the isot pepper and pistachios that define Gaziantep's regional food identity. The business sells both retail, through its physical stores, and online through its own e-commerce storefront, extending a regionally rooted product range to customers outside southeastern Turkey. Its growth from a small pepper-and-vegetable operation to a seven-store regional chain with national wholesale distribution over roughly a quarter-century reflects Gaziantep's broader status as one of Turkey's most prominent food cities, formally recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy.
